30. GRIEF: IT’S COMPLICATED

In this week’s episode we explore the complicated topic of grief and how we can help ourselves and our loved ones to feel it and move through it in a healthy way. -We look at the differences between sadness, depression and grief and how we process each in different ways. -We talk about the concept of disenfranchised grief. -We discuss recent losses;  Betsy, an important long term relationship that is changing and Kate discusses recent death of close ones and how the transition of her children to adulthood has compounded the grieving process. – We explore ways to work with grief, including moving it through the body with tears and movement, honest communication, and sound. – We work through ways to help loved ones’ losses and how to help support them through their entire grief process.
